Wolfowitz: cost of war '04 & '05 FIFTY BILLION: Get Out Now!NOW!!!!!!

[spanone]

This is unwinable. Declare victory whatever you gotta do but get us out. This is a wrong, obscene, immoral and totally bungled war. We finally had to do it in Vietnam. DO IT NOW. GET US THE FUCK OUT OF THERE.

3. P.S. Fuck you paul wolfowitz.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

2. Your message is clear.

and the monetary cost pales in comparison to our damaged reputation.

[Bluebear]

4. And if you don't think even THAT $$ figure is low-balled

I have a ballot in Florida to sell you!

[spanone]

6. You know if they're saying fifty it's closer to one-fifty.

GET OUT NOW. I'M SEEING DEAD PEOPLE.............................................................................................................................................................

10. Some of those dead people will be right here in the US

One billion cut from housing.

Another billion cut from Medicaid

Another billion cut from VA benefits

etc etc etc

Notice the pattern?

So far, it doesn't seem to register much.

I've been standing with Dennis for months, demanding the US withdraw immediately.

It's taken the fires of hell for so many others to see the inevitability.

It's time.

It's past time.

OUT NOW

5. Oh, we can just use the oil profits to pay for the war...

what? We can't?

oh fuck

[NewJeffCT]

7. Hmm, this is a bit more than the $1.7 billion they initially told us

And, we all know the $50 billion is ridiculously low... I'm guessing $170 billion, not counting the $150 to $200 billion we've already spent.

[MallRat]

8. ONLY $50 Billion?

That's hard to believe. We've already nearly burned through the first $87B.

I think we're looking at something closer to $100B to tide us over through the end of 2005. Maybe even $120B.

9. Sir, you wouldn't mean to imply Mr. Fullofshit would lie to us, would you?

Congress should cut off funding, bring the troops home and apologize to the world, no the universe.

[Kanary]

12. I like your plan best

All the important points in place.

Would you consider running for president instead?

I mean, SOMEBODY needs to be saying just that!

11. That's in addition to the $25 billion Bush has already said he wanted...

I just heard on a news broadcast on Air America's Franken show, that this $50 billion request is in addition to the $25 billion request. The $50 billion would be needed next year (after the election). I guess the $25 billion is needed now...:eyes:
